When the ground is not completely covered by a minimum of 3 inches of snow.
When the fire is not contained in either an approved burner or in a cooking or heating device such as charcoal grill or camp stove.

There may be additional restrictions based on municipal code or ordinances.

What can I burn?

You may burn vegetative material, such as grass, leaves, brush, and unpainted/untreated lumber.

You may obtain a permit in three ways:

Any DNR Forestry Office.
A fire warden.

As temperatures plummet this weekend, fish houses are great places for some respite from the cold and wind.

We want to remind everyone about the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning in fish houses and ice shelters.

Always keep vents open when using heaters, generators, or cooking equipment inside your fish house. Proper ventilation is critical to prevent dangerous gas buildup. Check vents and exhaust pipes often and keep them clear of snow and ice, as even partially blocked vents can cause carbon monoxide to build up quickly.

Carbon monoxide has no smell and no warning signs you can detect. You won’t know it’s there until it’s too late.

Common symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include:

✔️ Headache
✔️ Dizziness or lightheadedness
✔️ Nausea
✔️ Fatigue or confusion

If you or someone with you starts feeling these symptoms, get into fresh air immediately.

Simple steps like keeping vents clear, ensuring proper ventilation, and maintaining equipment can save lives. Please share this message and help keep others safe this season.

As we are getting into the winter season, please help by keeping the fire hydrants clear for emergency access.
By keeping the snow clear of the fire hydrants, it will save the fire department time to get water if needed in an emergency.
